Please use MAGA instead of "America." I'm an American who's not a MAGAt, and half the country didn't lose their marbles going off the self-righteous deep end, either. We're all embarrassed AF, and don't deserve to be lumped in with those assholes.

Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

It’s super fun to be thousands of miles away from where all this shit is going down and be constantly accused of being part of the problem, though.
Yeah, generalizations and assumptions really suck when they're inappropriately and unfairly applied. I think they're an evolutionary holdover - quick decision making is essential to animals surviving in the wild, so we evolved to lump things together to facilitate that and ensure our own safety. It's often not such a good thing when it comes to anything more complex than the question of "is that other being likely to harm me," however.
I mean, it wasn't only MAGA voting yes here.
Didn't know about that as I've been thoroughly disgusted by the whole thing & not paying close attention. All that proves, however, is that some significant number of Democratic lawmakers are DINOs in the pockets of the rich - not exactly a secret. America desperately needs viable third party alternatives, the lack of which is why it's where it is now. Until that happens, I'm hoping the progressives can eventually take up enough positions within the Democrats to turn them around.

I mean, say what you want about DINOs but they're not MAGA, so the claim that only MAGA glorifies Kirk is wrong. Also those DINOs represent the political establishment, so this problem is much deeper than a handful of lawmakers in Congress.
